Several people commenting here have X220s. Anyone have one with the IPS panel? Is it worth it? I hate how the colors on my laptop shift as my viewing angle changes.
- padenot 14y agoI've got one of these, with the IPS panel. It is fantastic. I find it better than my MBP, to be honest.
- Auguste 14y agoMine has an IPS panel. It looks great from any angle, but it suffers from a mild ghosting effect when some colours are displayed [1] [2], mostly dark-blue colours. I didn't notice it for the first time until I upgraded to Windows 8, which uses this colour on the lock screen [3]. I have no idea whether this problem is fixed in Lenovo's newer IPS displays, but I find it barely noticeable and rarely a problem.

- jthinkpadder 14y agoThe X220 IPS panel is highly prone to developing pressure marks, even when babied. Also, it's low resolution (same as the TN panel). I would not recommend it.
- rdrake 14y agoI too have an X220 with the "HD" screen. It looks great. The only issue is the awful resolution, but it's the same with the regular panel. I should probably mention that it runs Arch Linux without issue.
